valise, as l intended to buy some calico for
my daughter There was nothing unusual
about the kitchen understanding like
hesitate they arein now. Three men called
at the house about two o'clock Monday.
They were strangers. When | left the
house to take the train my mother-in-law
was lying on the foot ofthe bed, and my wife
followed me to the kitchen door and kissed
me. l know of no one trying to get into
the house before l lett for the depot. The
three strange men did not leave the house
more than FIVE minutes before l did.
At this Governor Richards announced
that he had no further questions to ask the
witness, but Baker insisted upon going on
and relating the story of the three men
who called Monday on the GRAND of rent
ing piece of ground. No new features
were developed, however.
While on the stand yesterday Baker
showed not the slightest symptoms of sor-
row at the death Of his wife. On the con-
trary he showed a tendency at times to be
witty, and several times, in parrying ques-
tions from Governor Richards, he laughed
in a quiet way. something somewhat out
of place under the circumstances. All the
time, however, he kept in sight his immi
nent danger, and observed even the slight
est motion on the part of the spectators
outside the windows of the school build
ing.
At supper time the jury adjourned over
unit this morning. About > 20 clock Sheriff
Lindsay stated TO the REGISTER represen-
tative that he would arrest Baker after sup
per, and send him to Fairview or New Cum
land. The arrest was made.
By way of explaining the evidence Of
Baker relative to this suit of clothes it may
be well to say that people who saw him
Monday say he had on a full suit Of blue.
If this is so, and he is the murderer, it is
fair TO presume the vest and trousers will
show some signs of bloOd-stains. If these
stains exist, the guilt of Baker is certain.
On the stand Baker said he had on the
blue coat Monday, but the last time he had
on the trousers was Saturday. They
ought to be hanging up in the room" As
a matter of fact they are not to be found,
and it will be the early duty of the officers
to look them up.
The funeral of the victims will take place
this afternoon at two o'clock. The occa-
sion will draw together all immense crowd,
as the murdered women We're well liked in
the neighborhood in which they lived.

A gentleman who keeps a few hens for
profit, recently carried some fresh laid eggs
To Faneuil Hall Market. Boston, and received
for the same forty-three cents per dozen
The dealer said to him, next week will
pay you forty-tive cents. and before Christmas
fifty cents dozen for all You will bring me
like these"
What is true of Boston is in measure
true of every market for eggs. The next
eight weeks will be the season of highest
prices. Therefore work your hens for all
they can do. We have no doubt but that
for want of the proper ingredients in their
food, more than one half of the hens in this
country are now idle when eggs will sell for
fifty cents per dozen. 1t is pure folly to
wonder spend time and money or experiment
TO find out why your hens do not lay. You
better by far profit by the experience of
others, and make them lay during December
and January. The following sworn state
ment shows that, the quickest and surest way
to do this and increase the egg product dur
ing these months from one TO six hundred
per cent, is by the of Sheridans Powder
to make hens lay, once daily in the food.
